New Mumbai Rule: The Any-SRO Hack Saving up to ₹3 Lakh on Redevelopment Registrations
The New Rule in 30 Seconds
Since May 2025, any property deed for a Mumbai address can be registered at
any Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) in the city or suburban districts.
Skip crowded counters—use a faster, lower-levy office like Kurla and you instantly shave
₹2,000 – ₹3,000 per deed and hours of queue time.
A 60-flat society in Bandra registering 70 – 90 deeds can bank ₹2 – ₹3 lakh—money for a new lift,
CCTV system, or simply lower member contributions.
Why Registration Costs Add Up
During redevelopment, every owner must sign and register:
- Development Agreement (DA)
- Permanent Alternate Accommodation Agreement (PAAA)
- Gift / Release deeds (family reallocations)
- Sale deeds (extra-area purchases)
- Final conveyance to the new or existing society
Each deed carries a stamp duty plus a fixed registration fee.
Base fees are uniform city-wide, but local surcharges and queue times vary by SRO—that’s your savings gap.
